Symantec SSL Customers, do you know where your certificates are located?

In March, Google announced they discovered a problem with Symantec issued SSL certificates. Google identified roughly 30,000 SSL certificates that violated industry standards defined within the CA/B forum baseline requirements. After the discovery, Google and Symantec solidified an agreement which will affect new and existing Symantec customers moving forward. The original deadline for reissuing affected Symantec/GeoTrust/Thawte certificates was pushed back from August 2017 to April 2018.
